Who are you to speak on behalf of society? Wouldn't society also be better off if those who stole your car got caught?

Further, I'm not sure why there is an expectation of privacy in public places. You don't have to consent to being filmed when you're walking down a public sidewalk.

Anyone who thinks modern data centers don’t use recirculated water can safely have their opinions summarily discarded.

It’s real, my friends and I all pay premiums every month, we’ve put aside $1100 so far. Work on it nights and weekends with one of my fellow policy holders. Feedback would be super appreciated.

Insurance is negative NPV. Trying to make it NPV neutral by giving people tools to self-insure. Starting with an app that lets you self-insure your phone with friends and family.

I don't want to track any of this myself. I want to walk into a gym, have some cameras follow me around, and have it analyze what I did while I was there, including statistics over time.

Love 4.

Growthbook wrote a short paper on how they evaluate test results continuously.

Just to answer some questions I'm seeing from other comments, this is built with three.js. Think of it as a 3d scene with an image rendered on a 2d plane and the camera has certain gaussian blur applied to a section of it. He's using orbit controls for the zoom in/out and for the ability to pivot the image.

I'd be upset if my bank used my checking account to fund Alzheimer's research.

Tangent but "Your margin is my opportunity" was originally a Sam Walton quote when he was building the 5 and dime stores. Bezos was deeply inspired by early Walmart and Sam.

Interesting perspective, disagree on one central tenant. Even though Github holds production code, it is not production. Built artifacts and the machines running those artifacts is production. When Github goes down, which it rarely does, it just means developers cant sync for a couple hours, no different than if someone works offline. The temptation to increase internal devops complexity should not be an automatic immune response when a service goes down, it comes with all sorts of hidden costs.

Right? I always feel worried about getting a contact high through the second hand smoke too.

Neat, thanks!

Also something that irks me is that all these platforms design DAGs as journeys. Journeys are fine but they're inherently value capped. A user is only supposed to go through an onboarding journey once or a memorial day sale journey once.

What I really want as a mobile app dev is loops. I want to be able to say "Run this every day, send a user a push or email at 10am. wait until 6pm. if the user hasnt opened the app yet, send another push based on a different template".

Currently we have a whole ass subproject dedicated to defining these flows. whats worse is that its hard to ab test flow and impossible for anyone non technical to set up a loop. Please build this, we'll pay you sweet sweet MRR if you do.

In your demo I tried to create a message template but email go auto selected vs a "Choose your channel" flow that I expected. Cool tech though!

Curious why?

Every single manager I’ve had continued to be a solid IC. The only difference is that they had a larger portion of the vote when we decided what we wanted to work on but we were all in the trenches together.

Duolingo uses it for their in app ads.

This is fear mongering disguised as concern. Tesla publishes data about incident rates for drivers both on and off autopilot and they are markedly lower than other drivers.

They have the largest percentage of their budget but not the largest in absolute terms.

Hi! Cool, can't wait to poke around. I've used killbill https://github.com/killbill previously and would be interested in your offering.

Poked around their site a bit, they claim to be open source but I don't see a link to a git repo anywhere. Also searched GitHub a bit but might have missed it.

Was there ever a layoff/pay cut in those 15 years?

Just to clarify, when they say "100%" of need, is that exclusively grants/scholarships or does that also include loans?

This reinforces my core belief that people, if given the opportunity, love a good button mashing app.

Judging by the network tab, it looks like they wrote their own. All the api requests fall under the same domain.
